While its obvious what Junior is asking here, one point should be
brought out to him about Marine Corps Aviators. They are NOT "fighter"
pilots. Sure they fly the Hornet in that mission, and do it well, but
guarantee if you ask any of them, their primary mission is "close
air-ground support".


I've said for years, and you may have even read it in this forum, "air
superiority is something a fighter pilot does on his/her way to and
from the target."
